What do you mean by "basic version"? Is the unofficial patch included with the GOG release missing any content?

There are two "official" versions of the unnofficial patch, the Basic and the Plus version. The Basic version is engine fixes and bugfixes only, It is intended to fix the game without change the original content and gameplay too much. the Plus version adds new quests, graphics, unfinished restored content as well, etc...

the GOG version comes bundled with the Basic version as the main game and the Original (Legacy) as an extra alternative.

Thanks. Now that you mention it I recall this being an option during installation of the patch. It has been many years since I last played VTMB.

GOG just put it in the game here. I had a 1.75gb update It's the new UP. I'm using Galaxy.

Is the Plus version actually good? Because, over the years, I've tried many restoration projects that tried to restore unfinished content of many different games, but they often suffered from clear drop in quality, bugs (sometimes game-breaking), etc.
Is the Plus version considerd to be strictly superior, compared to the Basic one?

I can't be of much help, sorry, I only tried the GOG version and the Basic version for compatibility reasons, not even the vanilla. But according to things I did read, the Plus version seems to be pretty stable and polished. In fact it is the original point. And considering the patch is years old and it continues being updated, well, I says to me that probably it is true.

greetings

Wesp's patch is one of the rare occasions when the restored content is actually worth it.

In the past (> 6 years ago) I played with the Plus version and it was significantly better. You should definitely give it a try.

How is the Plus version installed? Now that the GOG version of the game has the basic version, will the unofficial patch install the Plus version without issues?



Thank you, wesp5.

You can just install the plus patch on top of basic or the GOG version. Just make sure to disable automatic updates if you use Galaxy and start a new game!

Thank you. :)

Okay so, I just installed the Plus Patch (with everything checked) and was wondering if it installed models / shaders on its own or if I have to do any extra steps? Older youtube guides don't really seem to be applicable anymore from what I can tell, which is why I wanted to ask.

You need to install the shaders manually and I don't really know what you mean with models.

Alright, got it figured out now. And with the models that's my bad, I interpreted it wrong in the patch description and thought it meant model overhaul rather than adding new ones for the added content.

Hello, i want to know how to remove the fix book exploit, what should i do in the "vamputil.py" file ?
I see this, what should i do:

(quote_#)#Vendor cleanup to fix book exploit, added by Norrwin
def preBarter(vendor=""):
G = __main__.G
G.pc_barter_loc = __main__.FindPlayer().GetAngles()
G.ip_vendor = vendor
barterWait()
def barterWait():
G = __main__.G
for item in booklist:
if len(__main__.FindEntitiesByClass(item)) == 2:
vendor = G.ip_vendor
cleanInventory(vendor)
if __main__.FindPlayer().GetAngles() == G.pc_barter_loc:
__main__.ScheduleTask(0.15,"barterWait()")
saleitems = ("item_p_research_hg_computers", "item_p_research_hg_dodge", "item_p_research_hg_firearms", "item_p_research_hg_melee", "item_p_research_mg_brawl", "item_p_research_mg_finance", "item_p_research_mg_melee", "item_p_research_mg_security", "item_p_research_lg_firearms", "item_p_research_lg_dodge", "item_p_research_lg_stealth", "item_p_research_lg_computers")

def cleanInventory(vendor=""):
npc = Find(vendor)
rst = "item_p_research_"
if npc:
for item in saleitems:
try:
item.index(rst)
# print "trying substring"
except ValueError:
while npc.HasItem(item): npc.RemoveItem(item)
# print "no substring"
else:
if __main__.FindPlayer().HasItem(item):
while npc.HasItem(item): npc.RemoveItem(item)
# print "found substring"(/quote)
Thanks in advance
